Royal Palace of Milan, Art museum and royal palace next to Duomo, Italy.
The Royal Palace of Milan spans 7,000 square meters across three floors, featuring neoclassical architecture designed by Giuseppe Piermarini in the 18th century.
The palace originated as Palazzo del Broletto Vecchio during medieval times and served as a seat of power for the Torriani, Visconti, and Sforza families.
The palace functions as an exhibition center displaying over 1,500 artworks annually through partnerships with international museums and cultural institutions.
